the truth

The past week Hope and Maya started hanging out a lot. If you saw them In the hallway at school or even at Chick-Fil-a, they looked like they were the best of friends already. The only other time you would see Hope this Happy is when she was with Lizzie. Before everything that happened with that.

Hope was still wounding a broken heart, and Maya understood that so she didn't push the girl to date right away. Every day after school, the two girls would go somewhere and hangout and talk about life. A week has almost passed since she met the girl, but she feels a lot happier than she has someone that will like her back the way she loves them.

Hope didn't know that she was going to talk about what happened over the summer, but it slipped out one afternoon. Maya was very understanding and, at the same time, mad. She wasn't mad at her new friend but Hope's old one. She wondered why someone would drop some as sweet as Hope. And that there has to be a better reason than wanting to be popular.

She decided that she was going to investigate on her own because she felt like Hope deserved answers. So when Maya got home, she went on her mother's work computer and searched her name to get as much info as possible.

What she found shocked her. She had to show Hope even if it caused her to lose that friendship that she built. She said bye to her mom and took the car to where Hope was staying, hoping that she was home.

The drive wasn't long, but Maya felt like every second was an hour until she got in front of the house. She opened her door and forced her legs to move to the front door and knock. She waited for an answer, and when she heard someone coming, she took one step back so she wouldn't be in their face.

The door opened, and Lizzie was standing in front of her. "can I help you with something?" the blonde asked

"it's okay I was looking for someone I guess I got the wrong address." Maya had so many negative thoughts in her head as to why Lizzie was there.

She turned around when Hope said, "Maya, what are you doing here." With a big smile

Maya saw Hope and Lizzie walked away.

"why is Lizzie in your house?" the girl asked.

"it's not my house; it's hers, and it is a long story. I promise I wasn't keeping it from you. I was going to tell you tomorrow. after school." Hope said

Maya understood but didn't at the same time, but she still had something to tell the girl. "is there anywhere we can talk in private Hope."

The girl nodded and grabbed Maya's hand and took her to the guest bedroom, and closed the door behind them.

"Maya tell me what's going on why did you come here and believe me when I tell you seeing you makes me happy. but I am just wondering." Hope said

"Okay, so when you told me what happened over the summer, I got mad at Lizzie. I know I had no right to do this, but I searched her history with the police, and there wasn't anything that stuck out. At first, until I saw a date that was in the summer and read the file and it said that she saved your life." Maya said

"what do you mean saved my life."

"The night you attempted suicide Lizzie ran to your house. because she had a bad feeling, and she is the one that found you in the bathtub." The girl said

Hope didn't know what to do with this information, but it didn't matter anyway. "Maya, I am so happy you told me this, but I am wondering why." The shorter girl said

"isn't it obvious Hope that Lizzie Loves you too." Mays said

"if she loved me, she wouldn't hurt me the way she did, and it doesn't matter anymore I like someone else."

"oh, who."

Hope walked to Maya and leaned in and kissed her, and said, "you dummy. Even after you thought you might lose me, you still showed me what you found."

Maya smiled and leaned to kiss Hope this time. They were kissing when the door opened, and Lizzie saw the two and said. "sorry for interrupting came to tell you dinner was ready and Maya, you can join us if you want too."

Lizzie closed the door and felt so angry, and she didn't know why. But if we are honest, she knew exactly why she was so mad to see Hope kissing Maya.

A minute later, the girls walked out, and Maya went home but not before kissing Hope goodbye. She tried and avoided all the awkwardness between her and Lizzie.

Hope saw that Maya got into the car safely and closed the door and turned around with the biggest smile in the world.

Hope joined the other girls at the dinner table. and Lizzie said, "you never told any of us that you were gay, and suddenly you have a new girlfriend." Lizzie said with a hint of Jealously, but it went right over Hope's head

"it's like how you saved my life in the summer but never came to see how I was doing afterward." Hope fired back

Everyone at the table was silent; she had no idea how Hope knew about that at all.

"what do you mean, Lizzie saved you this summer." Josie asked

"oh, so you don't know the night I tried to kill myself Lizzie ran to my house and was the one that found me in my bath." Hope said

Josie looked at her sister and could tell that Hope was telling the truth.

"Why does it matter that I didn't say anything we weren't friends back then, so I didn't see the point." Lizzie said

"you know why it matters. It's your fault I did what I did. I was broken after you dropped me as a friend that I became depressed. I was there at that party that day so I could tell someone how I was feeling and who else than my ex best friend. Then I saw you with your tongue down another girls mouth and realized that it didn't matter anymore and left." Hope confessed

"you know what Hope I am glad I dropped you as a friend. you were always so needy you didn't give me space to breathe, I felt like anything that I did you had to be apart of." Lizzie went off

Hope felt her tears build up and said. "you were my best friend. We are supposed to do everything together. but then you choose popularity over friendship."

"that's not why I dropped you. It's because you were so obviously in love with me. The way you looked at me at sleepovers wasn't what friends looked at each other did. And don't deny it."

"you know what I do or did love you what do you want me to say it's the truth. But how about you speak the truth too. Why did you come to my house and beg me to fake date you well knowing how I feel about you then just ending it. Was it to hurt me all over again." Hope sobbed before running to her room.
